HITCHING UP WITH MAX TAYLOR
TIMING’S
EVERYTHING
Plenty of free camps are
time limited, whether it’s a
48-hour maximum stay or a
week. But should that be the
case? This is Australia, right?
Isn’t it our right as Australians
to plonk ourselves by the
coast and only move when
the esky has run dry?
Well, ours is also the land
of the fair go. The time
limits are in place to ensure
everyone has a chance to
enjoy that same campsite.
To set yourself up, get comfy,
and refuse to move after
staying the maximum allowed
time is patently unfair to other
campers. So is running the
generator until midnight, but
don’t get me started on that.
Every site has its inconsiderate
camper. Or, as my mother used
to say, there’s one cuckoo in
every clock. And you’ll find
them all over. In the Top End,
where one might reasonably
expect solitude, peace and
quiet, one festive gentleman
parked his camper right next to
us, despite the wide availability
of sites elsewhere.

Okay, well, perhaps he just
liked company. Not much I
could do. But imagine our…
annoyance at being kept
up until 2am listening to
him sing Copperhead Road
over and over. Perhaps it
wouldn’t have been so bad
if he could sing in tune, but
his drunken caterwauling
was not conducive to a
good night’s sleep.
The moral: don’t overstay.
Don’t sing until all hours.
And if you must, anything
but Steve Earle.
